24 BENEFITS FROM TURMERIC

THE BENEFITS OF TURMERIC ARE EVERYWHERE

Here are just 24 of the many reasons determined by scientific studies of the many reported benefits of turmeric. The standing question most often asked has been, what does turmeric do? Today with findings of literally thousands of studies in just the last two decades and more than 600 health conditions reportedly benefiting from turmeric, the better question has now become: What Doesn't Turmeric Do? Here is an overview.

Because turmeric successfully breaks the brain blood barrier (which few pharmaceutical drugs are able to do) the spice is being studied and used more and more for treating neurological diseases. As example, the FDA currently has 247 turmeric trials in progress with 4 trials assigned just to Schizophrenia . There are trials for bipolar disease, autism, TBI, (traumatic brain injury) and Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers from the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA determined only 1% of elderly patients in one village studied in India showed any signs of developing dementia. Numerous other studies have confirmed turmeric's ability to break-down beta amyloid plaque (the hallmark of Alzheimer's).

Worth noting, the spice has been able to interfere and inhibit the formation of the destructive plaque in the first place (see cancer on the site). India also reports having some of the lowest cancer rates in the world and with the announcement from the British Journal of Cancer last year on the BBC, one in two people will develop some form of cancer at some point in their lives. Might we agree, any means that can inhibit this disease from even getting a foothold in the first place should be taken seriously? (It is not claimed however that Turmeric is a cure for cancer).
